A PURITAN CATECHISM
26. Wherein did Christ's humiliation consist?
Christ's humiliation consisted in his being born, and that in a low condition, made under the law, undergoing the miseries of this life, the wrath of God, and the cursed death of the cross; in being buried, and continuing under the power of death for a time.
27. Wherein consists Christ's exaltation?
Christ's exaltation consists in his rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in coming to judge the world at the last day.
28. How are we made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ?
We are made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ, by the effectual application of it to us by his Holy Spirit.
29. How does the Spirit apply to us the redemption purchased by Christ?
The Spirit applies to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, and by it uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling.
30. What is effectual calling?
Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he does persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ freely offered to us in the gospel.

CANTICLES: SONG OF MOSES
I will sing to the Lord He has triumphed gloriously
Bared His arm, drew His sword Threw them all into the sea
My father’s God is strong He is my strength, my song
He’s my salvation
Pharaoh’s might, Egypt’s hosts By the waves were overthrown
All the strength they could boast Sank before us like a stone
The horse and rider, He Has cast into the sea
He’s our salvation
Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
Always
With a blast of His breath As the waves stood in a heap
We were led, safe from death Through the canyons of the deep
When Pharaoh said “Pursue!” Your Spirit overthrew
His mighty nation
Let the earth stand in fear Let their proud hearts melt away
When they see, when they hear What the Lord has done today
When Egypt meant us harm You bared a righteous arm
For our salvation
Who is like the Lord—
Mighty God, a man of war?
Who is like the Lord—
Awesome in His deeds?
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
A people You have redeemed
Will honor You as king
For You have shown them Your power to save
And by the strength of Your love
They’ll dwell secure above
High on the mountain of God always
Always
Sing unto the Lord He has triumphed gloriously
The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea
(repeat)
SCRIPTURE READING
Leviticus 22
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty
Maker of heaven and earth
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only-begotten Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
Was crucified, dead, and buried
He descended into hades
The third day He rose again from the dead
He ascended in to heaven
And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty
From there He shall come to judge the living and the dead
I believe in the Holy Spirit
The holy catholic church
The communion of saints
The forgiveness of sins
The resurrection of the body
And the life everlasting
Amen.
YOU WILL SHOW ME THE PATH OF LIFE (PSALM 16)
You will show me the path of life, you, my hope and my shelter;
In your presence is endless joy, at your side is my home forever.
1. Faithful God, I look to you, you alone my life and fortune,
never shall I look to other gods, you shall be my one hope.
2. From of old you are my heritage, you my wisdom and my safety,
through the night you speak within my heart, silently you teach me.
3. So my heart shall sing for joy, in your arms I rest securely,
you will not abandon me to death, you shall not desert me.
GOD, BE MERCIFUL TO ME (PSALM 51A)
God, be merciful to me; On Your love I rest my plea.
By Your vast abounding grace, My transgressions all erase.
From the stain of ev'ry sin, Wash, and make me clean within.
For my sins before me rise, Always present to my eyes.
I have sinned ‘gainst You alone, In Your sight I've evil done;
So Your words are proven true, Righteous are Your judgments, too.
Truly, I was born in sin, Sinful when conceived within.
Surely You desire to find, Faithfulness in heart and mind;
You will, deep within my heart, Wisdom unto me impart.
O with hyssop sprinkle me, And from sin I clean will be;
Wash me from its stain, and so, I'll be whiter than the snow.
Make me hear joy's cheering voice, Let the bones You crushed rejoice.
ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL
All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice. Serve Him with joy, His praises tell, come now before Him and rejoice!
Know that the Lord is God indeed; He formed us all without our aid. We are the flock He comes to feed, the sheep who by His hand were made.
O enter then His gates with joy, within His courts His praise proclaim. Let thankful songs your tongues employ. O bless and magnify His name.
Trust that the Lord our God is good, His mercy is forever sure. His faithfulness at all times stood and shall from age to age endure.
O SING A NEW SONG (PSALM 98A)
O sing a new song to the LORD For wonders He has done;
By His right hand and holy arm He victory has won.
The LORD's salvation is revealed For He has made it known;
He to the nations of the world His righteousness has shown.
He called to mind His faithfulness, His love to Isr'el's house;
The great salvation of our God Is seen the earth throughout.
O all the earth, shout to the LORD, And make a joyful sound.
Lift up your voice aloud to Him; Sing praise, let joy resound.
Make music to the LORD with harps; With harps your praises sing.
With horn and trumpets shout with joy Before the LORD, the King.
Let sea and land and all they hold Resound with one accord.
Let rivers clap, let mountains sing For joy before the LORD.
For He shall come, He surely comes The judge of earth to be;
He'll judge the world with righteousness, And all with equity.
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me
My name is graven on His hands
My name is written on His heart
I know that while in heav’n He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me
To look on Him and pardon me
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace
One with Himself, I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God
COMMUNION*
Communion at CTK is celebrated weekly. If you are not a Covenant Member of our church, you are welcome to commune with us provided two things:
First, you are "in Christ" (you have repented of your sins and turned in faith to Christ alone for salvation).
Second, we ask that you be a "Faithful Church Member" of another local body (a regular attender, active participant, not under discipline). If one of our Covenant Members can vouch for these things, you are welcome to celebrate with us!
O MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME (PSALM 34A)
At all times I will bless the LORD
And ever praise Him with my voice
My soul will make its boast in God
The humble hear it and rejoice
I sought the LORD in darkest night
He saved me by His glorious might
O look upon His holy face
And let your gloom be turned to light
O lift Your voices, praise His name
The Mighty God has power to save
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name together
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name forever
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
This poor man sought the LORD on high
To save him from his bitter plight
Then God arose with outstretched arm
To save him and to win the fight
The mighty angel of the LORD
Surrounds His saints and bears His sword
O fear the LORD upon His throne
For He will come to save His own
So let us all lift up His name
For God alone has power to save
Refrain
O taste and see that God is good
May every blessing come to you
How wonderful! How precious is His grace!
Though lions lack for want of food
The LORD will give you all that’s good
For those who fear His holy name
Every blessing they will claim
Refrain
O magnify the LORD with me
Let us exalt His name forever
O magnify the LORD,
O magnify the LORD with me
